Also, as an instructional video, this is first class! Fitting the garboard is so interesting. At 1:38:54 you can see the "lever" of wood clamped to the aft end of the plank, in order to control the twist. The twist is phenomenal - it's often assumed that planks need to be steamed in order to allow them to bend, but it's getting the twist that's the real challenge.

I understand that with any project like this there are perimeters and compromises. This is a workboat (no interior), not a personal cruising boat, Barnabas will probably never race the Fasnet... Finishing this restoration in 9 months is impressive! It took me 7 years till I got my boat in the water. With that said I wouldn't have felt comfortable using steel or galvanized fasteners. Also, 5 tons of "loose" ballast in a knockdown/rollover would have been interesting. Personilly I would have insisted on ear/eye protection... I have ringing in my ears that never goes away from a foolish youth.
@perstaffanlundgren Жыл бұрын
What is the reason for using galvanised steel all over? Economical? The acids in the oak wood have tendency to make black / galvanized steel rust . Even with tar as protection on the bolts spikes this can occur... I would have gone for stainless in the bolts allover (and copper in the spikes at least bellow the waterline) . I get that it cost more but will last longer ,and be mutch more possible to remove in the future than Rust swelled steel ,(that also cause damage on the surrounding wood /spike rot) When the restoration seems to Go the traditional way with the selektion of metal ( wessels vere often built with steel bolts etc . The ships/ boats was not built for a super long lifespan then . the use of epoxy instead of wooden plugs , is not traditional method. I am a traditional ship/ boat builder , by the way ... Otherwise excellent techniques and craftmanship . Very informative and good dokumentary also.

Any further West from Cornwall and you’ll find yourself in the Celtic sea! By the way, Cornwall has at least two accents East Cornwall and West Cornwall the former is closer to the standard West Country of Devon, while the Anglo-Cornish of the West, was influenced by modern English due to the persistence of the Cornish language and, therefore, it has its own cadence and phonology. I would hazard a guess that the narrator is from West Cornwall.

They did a good job on her, surprised they didn't use bronze bolts and copper rivets & roves though. By using steel fastenings the oak will get iron sickness and not last as long.

On many boat ship restorations on such old vessels the replacement of parts are often very substantial. In som cases only one or a few parts of the ribbing /stern /bow main structure is left. Keeping planking doesn't count.... planking is constantly being replaced... But i would say you must keep some structural part to be able to claim that the ship boat is the original vessel. This can be important when applying for funds from maritime museums for restoration work. New ship: no cash ...
